If you had $4000 to spend with no harm, no foul to your finances, what (edited: coin or coins) would you buy and why?
ps: I already practice the maxim of "collect what you like". I'm just curious to see what forum members would purchase. Consider your answer as if the coin or coins were available and the terms of the deal and the condition of the coin or coins were amenable.
Best regards,

Why? Because I don't believe there's been a buffalo thread yet today.

An 1876-CC $10 in VF. Low mintage. Low survival rate. Exotic mint mark. Low cost because few $10 Lib. collectors. A cool coin.
I would probably try to find a nice PCGS slabbed unc. colonial or early US type coin.
You can find some great pieces which are genuinely scarce if not really rare, in very high grade and which represent great value IMO.
In colonials, $4,000 will get you a PCGS MS62-3 Fugio, or a great MS63 or 64 Washington Small or Large Eagle, an MS62 Nova Constellatio, etc.
In early type, you can get an exceptional Draped Bust Half Cent in the same price range.
Maybe a lower grade mint state 1877 cent.
Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
$4000 would be nice, that is well over my coin budget for a year.....

Anyway, don't you have an area of specialization? I'm kindo new here but I see several guys that it is easy for me to pick up on their area. I'm kindo simple: I like anything with a 7 for the second digit in F or better. I also like the last advice on the seated liberty dollars and I like standing liberty quarter. I would avoid anthing toned, I see over the past couple of days that it can be very controversial!!!!
